Last week concluded the runway shows of New York Fashion Week, and there were so many trends we loved. Our favorite pieces from the Spring 2016 collections are ones that can be worn now. Why wait? There are too many looks we are eager to try (and some we already have)!
All White
Remember when your mother told you not to wear white after Labor Day? Well, sorry mom! We’re all about breaking that rule. NYFW proved that all white never goes out of style, and there is no way we’re holding out until next summer to recreate these looks. Our favorites (linked below) include DKNY’s asymmetrical coat dress, Badgley Mischka’s preppy romper, and Jason Wu’s dress of mixed fabrics. Try similar looks with contrasting dark tights to make them work for cooler weather.
Horizontal Stripes
Horizontal stripes owned the Spring 2016 NYFW runways, and it’s about time! Poor horizontal stripes have earned a bad reputation as unflattering, but like most patterns, they can look amazing on any body type when worn with confidence and style. We love Carolina Herrera’s use of layered fabric to create the illusion of stripes and Roksanda’s subtly patterned pant. But our favorites might be the stunningly colorful dresses from Naeem Khan. We’d love to get our hands on one of those to style it with pieces from our Futuristic Flashback collection.
Fringe
Loyal followers of the Stella Valle blog know that we can’t get enough fringe. It has been popular in many recent seasons, and it isn’t going anywhere anytime soon! We loved seeing one of our favorite trends maintain its dominance during NYFW. This season’s runways showed how fringe can work with almost any style. It adds interest to an Alexander Wang military jacket, movement to a Hervé Léger body-con dress, and elegance to an Ohne Titel beaded frock. Rendered in rich fabrics, fringe adds punctuation to fall outfits, so there is no need to wait for spring to rock the look.
So with September and Fashion Week winding down, it would seem that both the temperature and your style just got a little cooler😉
Lots of Love,
